How should I forgive you??

We were playing in the rain Shouting with joy as if insane, But you suddenly pushed me down Following a calumnious mischievous mien.

And you ran off at an amazing pace, Seeing me injured with blood on my face. You never came back to show me your solace, But to tell me that I was a total disgrace.

That I wasn’t worthy to be a friend But was no less than a fiend. That if I couldn’t bear small pains, You couldn’t see in my friendship any gains.

My acquaintances nagged me too That I couldn’t see an infidel in you. Tell me o friend, how should I forgive you?? For you had made me feel like a shoe.

Tell me o friend! How should I forgive you? For you had given me a series of sorrows to go through, For you had made me see a Brutus in every friend And making me lose my confidence difficult to find.

Now tell me o friend! How should I forgive you?? Was nit my affection enough to be with you? Or were you expecting me to hide your blunders and apologize in turn to you? Tell me o friend!! How should I forgive you………?????
